CityUHK neuroscientist crack code on brain multitasking, uncovering neural mechanisms behind cognitive bottlenecks
Sep 03, 2026
Hong Kong, September 3: It is commonly perceived that multitasking is highly inefficient, with the brain often "crashing" or scrambling when trying to do two things at once. A study co-led by Professor Yung Wing-ho, Chair Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), together with scholars from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, has explained the underlying cause, revealing how the brain dynamically reorganises itself to break through the cognitive bottleneck and achieve efficient, simultaneous multitasking.
